Our Experience
John Planck Ltd is a family-owned business and was the first specialist architectural ironmongers in Kent. Founded by the late and great John Planck as the 1st specialist architectural ironmonger in Kent, our coverage now extends to all of the UK and beyond. Our products and services have been recognised by the industry, as is testified by awards won in various categories over the years. Customer service is at the core of our business, we take as much care after we have completed a project as we do before and during the process.
Our Services
Our expertise is primarily focussed on the specification, scheduling, and supply of architectural ironmongery. Supported by a team of qualified experts we design solutions to fit any building project from modern, heritage, to bespoke. To help make the process easier, we use advanced scheduling systems to simplify orders as well as enabling the seamless sourcing, packing and delivery operation.
To complement our core Architectural Ironmongery services, we also provide other products and services required within the construction industry. We supply and install Doors and Doorsets, Automatic Operators, Access Control, Washroom Fittings, Pocket Sliding Door Systems, Sliding Glass Door Systems, Accessories, and Mailbox Systems.
